I had several problems to boot, i played with a jumper on the main
board to solve the problem.

I wrote a documentation (in french) with all the steps i needed to boot my o2 :

hope it helps.

Now i can start X but like you the screen is powerd-off. I can go back
to a console with ctr+alt+F1. If i come boack to the vt7 i can see a
verticaly- split screen with in each part a replication of vt1.
Caracters are green (and unreadable) on black background.
